1/2 ton pick ups are no longer designed to be working vehicles. These things are grocery getters. If you need a work truck step up the 3/4 ton or better.
Traded into a '16 F150 in June, very pleased with it.
Both Chevy and Dodge get low ratings.
It was between Tundra and F150 for me, the F150 won because I wanted all of the neat technology in it.
Lol, I was wondering what you guys think about the new aluminum Ford trucks.The tinfoil fords are pansy compared to Ram..
Others who mentioned Toyota and the like.....
Not going to happen. Not even if they came with a million dollar check made out to CASH.
I like ford, but the conversion to the Aluminum body was a deal breaker. We rented a F150 platinum for a vacation in the Rocky's two years ago and loved all the bells and whistles. Did not use it for a farm truck like I do my Toyota's. Just a street truck with some minor rock crawling that any 4X4 could do easily.
Steve.....
Nat said she thought she saw you drive past the house in a new truck.

Everyone else....
No one has really mentioned a hard fact reason not to buy one in lieu of the other and I've always driven fords so that is probably what I'll get. Bought dad a 2016 a couple months ago and it is pretty slick. The one I buy doesn't have to be new. I'm so hard on them it might actually be best but the new ones are really tugging on me. Especially the F250 All that said Ford has really pissed me off with the wife's explorer and the exhaust leaking into the cabin under load. Its a known problem that they refuse to fix properly and even the new ones do it.
My Twin brother has a pretty new GMC and he says it is so great. but he "forgets" that it has had two transmissions
Right now I'm in a rental 2016 RAM with a 5.7L in it. All I can really say is that I don't hate it, It is slower then all that ford offers, they seem to put less attention into all the finer details and I cant see that they are really any cheaper then my other choices
Yota's are good too!I like ford, but the conversion to the Aluminum body was a deal breaker.

The insurance drove me off. Limited body shops, and the systems are modular from what I was told. If you bust a tail light, you replace the rear quarter panel, and it ran into the thousands on some Youtube Video's. To be honest, that was prior to the aluminum body's coming out for the first time, so that intel is up for discussion since they are out now.
I've had such great luck with Toyota just selling a Taco with 351,000 miles on it that didn't use a drop of oil between changes, that I decided to go bigger with the Tundra.
